FXDC Bars on a FXD
Ok Im still up in the air over what I want to do with my bars and speedo mount. I am thinking over the winter I may do a tank swap so for the time being Im looking for some cheap bars to increase the comfort level for me.
Doing some measurements I came up that I would like about 1 inch more rise and about 2 inches more pull back than stock, also slightly wider would be nice.
So I was doing some looking and looks like the FXDC bars have a 1/2 inch more rise and 1 inch more pull back and are wider. Anyone compared these to there regular super glide bars. I would just go sit on a Custom at the dealer but they dont have a single dyna right now.

Here is a chart someone else had posted on the forum. You are close with your measurements. I have an 08 FXDC and love the stock bars .

I put those bars on my bike...they are a lot more comfortable than the FXD too narrow bars. The bars are basically the fatboy bars from a few years back...(current fatboy has same shape but 1 1/4" bars)

how about clip-ons and some rear sets? Do a stage II upgrade, add a small fairing, and you've got the first FXD-R!
